Yael Deckelbaum
Yael Deckelbaum’s share to the huge topic of international understanding cannot be rated high enough. She is not only a highly gifted singer, songwriter and founder of the legendary trio „HaBanot Nechama“ but also one with a mission: making the world better and more peaceful. Therefore she was decorated with several awards, but none of them can change her attitude: „Let’s give this moment some music!“ You should listen, because she has something to say.
